Well, she's right, serves you right for talking to her. Reminds me, we're a bit overdue for a blow up in my family. Is rather interesting how one behaves when in a blind rage, heh. Day is just flying by when I'd rather it slow the heck down. On the bright side, found out 50% of a quarter of my assignment was done already by another dev, huzzah.

I like the horns in the music.

Yup, that's why I have a good coat, boots and walk around while waiting. Granted, we have wussy winters in this city.

For some reason thet Exile's voice makes me think of SHODAN.

Ah the MP disease spreads. Still, everything else looks pretty cool.

Just a one-time online check.

Maybe this ? http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?s=&am...t&p=1147778 Mind you not accusing Zoraptor of anything, but that was the first mention of sales on this board, that I tracked down. Doesn't really scream failure, though. Anyway..

Well under performing can mean it didn't sell X amount as set by some suit so both could be true. I know they exceeded expectations for the quarter but that report lumped alot of other stuff together as well. Poor Obsidian, though.

Don't think it did that badly. DS3 did 820k while DX:HR did 2.18 million. From this : http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/05/deus-ex-...nate-in-the-cy/

Probably.

Further insight to my mom's cooking when I was tasting some tuna she had made for sandwiches. Asked me if it needed more pepper, I said nope, I can taste the fish. She took that as stating it needed more pepper as you "shouldn't taste the fish". At least it'll clear the sinuses. Another neat thing people watching today, coffee shops changing to a "winter" style of cup, usually white. But does make it easier to see how many people are walking around with coffee in their hands here (that and people seem to be doing so aimlessly).

Most of them I can nod with and see why. But...'Budweiser' is banned ? (beer snobs I guess)

Ran into an old lady that also owns a dachshund so we chatted for a bit, and took the dogs for a good walk. That lady's husband's getting really jerked around with by a hospital here - analysis on test results flip flops from 'Ok' to 'Uh...this is bad' then back to 'Ok', appointments that are 4 hours late, etc. It's one of the crappier hospitals in the city, in my opinion - St. Michael's. Also am more convinced that every cop in this city is a giant scumbag.

Heh, funny that PCG mentions FADE/DEGRADE as if this is something new. Was funny in Arma II, at the start, you couldn't even do the training range apparently as it'd mess up your aim so badly. Still got broken, albeit in a rather lengthy Starforce-esque manner (which is the point I suppose), but is my favourite kind of DRM. And hey he did say - "It

Haha, brilliant mistake. I can kind of understand the point of the ruling though.

Not using it would be better. Reduce comes before Recycle, well at least as much as I remember. I still use bottled water though, habits are hard to shake from back home, where the water's almost safe to shower with, heh.

CD Projekt & GOG plans

I dunno, the bit about the "Gangsta Olympics" was pretty funny. First prize is death ? Awesome.

It'd have to be a step up from WoW's. And a lot of the players will just jump to something new, if it holds them, great.

Had to laugh at our choice of Christmas party venue. A sushi place. This is chosen because the office manager's wife is coming, is Japanese, and they love sushi. Everyone else will love it as well. I guess I could hit the steak house beforehand. Now for a productive weekend of raking leaves (or shaking the tree to get it to drop its leaves, anyway).

Huh, you had to wait until the NDA lifted to share that ? Thanks, though, it does sound interesting. Decided that I'll get the game 2-3 months after release, better idea of how it is faring, etc. at that point.

Ah so very, very true. Video by the guy that shot at the White House - http://www.localnews8.com/video/29802002/i...182011&ts=H

Buzzword overdose! But that does look pretty cool. I had thought tha original VA got ditched too.

Rather quiet night, listening to this - Soothing I find, heh.
